Miliband calls for working-class vote
Labour leader asks for a vote against the rich in last speech
LABOUR leader Ed Miliband put class on the ballot paper in his final speech of the general election campaign yesterday.
Addressing a rally in Pendle, Mr Miliband said that Britain faced the “clearest choice for a generation” at the ballot box today. He appealed for undecided voters to back Labour, saying: “I’m asking you to vote for a country where we put working families first. “That’s what’s on the ballot paper.”
Turning to the Tories, he added: “I’m not simply asking you to reject the Conservatives but to reject their plan to put the rich and powerful first.“I’m asking you to reject a plan to double the cuts next year and devastate our NHS.”
